git remote add <name> <url> doesn't seem to work on windows

Question

I'm using win 7 with git bash integrated into the windows command prompt. I have a repo where I'm trying to add another remote. I do this:

git remote add myserver ssh://git@subdomain.domain.com/blabla.git sources

Now git responds with:

usage: git remote add [<options>] <name> <url>

    -f, --fetch           fetch the remote branches
    --tags                import all tags and associated objects when fetching
                          or do not fetch any tag at all (--no-tags)
    -t, --track <branch>  branch(es) to track
    -m, --master <branch>
                          master branch
    --mirror[=<push|fetch>]
                          set up remote as a mirror to push to or fetch from

I find that puzzling since I thought this is what I had done. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The word sources at the end is causing the problem. The documentation you cited shows nothing after <url> . If it's a folder name, just attach it to the URL:

git remote add myserver ssh://git@subdomain.domain.com/sources
